Open Science Throughout the Research Lifecycle听
This year's Symposium will highlight how Open Science works through various stages of the research lifecycle, focusing on areas where it is not yet widely practiced, such as data acquisition in laboratories. Interactive sessions will cover open resources enabling better study design, initiatives to increase diversity in research data, open-source hardware for data acquisition and collaborative approaches to catalyze big open data analysis.
This year, our master of ceremonies will be Matthew Loukine, a PhD candidate at The Neuro, who will bring us new perspectives and share his first-hand experience of working on a research project while striving to make it as open as possible. His passion for open science will make this event even more enriching and relevant, where we will hear about the different elements of creating an open research project, from the ideation and study design stages to analyzing and sharing your data.
Keynote Lecture:听An Open Science Approach to Human Brain Cellular and Molecular Mapping in Health and Disease
Ed Lein, Senior Investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, will kick off the event with the keynote lecture, providing an overview of the open education tools developed by the Allen Institute, which are invaluable for enhancing neuroscience education and strengthening experimental design.听
Open Science Prize Ceremony
The day will conclude with the 2024 Neuro-Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation Open Science Prizes Ceremony. The winners of this premier OS competition will accept their awards and present their work. Following the ceremony, symposium attendees are invited to celebrate and network over cocktails.
